A tightly set, compressed serif with strong stroke contrast and crisp, hairline terminals. The forms are largely vertical and upright, with narrow proportions and compact sidebearings that create a taut, rhythmic texture. Serifs are fine and bracketed, and transitions from thick stems to thin hairlines are pronounced, giving the letters a sharp, carved look. The lowercase shows a noticeably modest x-height with tall ascenders and descenders, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast, condensed logic for a consistent typographic color.
Well suited to headlines, magazine titling, and cover typography where a condensed, high-contrast serif can deliver impact without taking much horizontal space. It can also work for branding and short editorial subheads, especially when given a bit of extra tracking and generous leading.
The overall tone is classic and formal with an editorial sharpness. Its compressed, high-contrast drawing reads as assertive and elegant, evoking traditional print typography and a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward feel when set large.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice in a narrow footprint, combining classic proportions with pronounced contrast to create a refined display texture. Its condensed stance and sharp detailing suggest a focus on elegant, space-efficient titling and editorial emphasis.
In longer lines the tight proportions emphasize verticality and can make spacing feel dense, so it benefits from careful tracking and comfortable line spacing. The contrast and fine details are most striking at display sizes, where the hairlines and serifs remain clearly articulated.
